I tried this cocktail which I feel every bourbon lover should try too! Ingredients 1/2 ounce star anise and black tea-infused simple syrup* 1 slice of fresh ginger 1 strip lemon peel 2 ounces Basil Hayden’s bourbon 1/2 ounce Creme Yvette 1 dash Angostura bitters Steps Add the syrup and ginger to a mixing glass. Twist the lemon peel over the glass to express the oils. Drop the peel into the glass and muddle it with the syrup and ginger. Add the bourbon, Creme Yvette and bitters with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. I call it the ginger rabbit... Let me know if y.

A cocktail drink is any mixed drink with at least two ingredients and is usually alcohol-based. Cocktails typically have a base liquor, like vodka or gin, and come with other flavored ingredients like fruit juice. Some drinks are simple and only involve two liquid ingredients.

I tried this cocktail which I feel every bourbon lover should try too! Ingredients 1/2 ounce star anise and black tea-infused simple syrup.

INGREDIENTS: The whiskey sour (aka bourbon sour) is a classic cocktail that’s on the list of International Bartender Association’s IBA official cocktails. This means it has an official definition. Our version stays true to the original definition, with a few tweaks. The ingredients for making a whiskey sour recipe are simple! Here’s what you’ll need for this classic sour cocktail:

1. Bourbon whiskey: as high quality as possible (you can use any whiskey, but we prefer the flavor of bourbon)
2. Lemon juice.
3. Maple syrup or simple syrup
4. Garnish of orange peel and cocktail cherry

Will try it once

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) bourbon whiskey
• 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) fresh lemon juice
• ¾ ounce (1 ½ tablespoon) pure maple syrup (or simple syrup)
• Garnish: Orange peel and a cocktail cherry
• Ice, for serving

1. Add the bourbon whiskey, lemon juice, and syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill with a handful of ice and shake until very cold.
2. Strain the drink into a lowball or Old Fashioned glass. Serve with ice, an orange peel, and a cocktail cherry.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ ounce (3 tablespoons) bourbon whiskey
• 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) sweet or semi-sweet red vermouth
• 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) Campari
• Ice, for serving (try clear ice!)
• For the garnish: Orange peel

1. Combine the bourbon whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Campari in a cocktail mixing glass (or any other type of glass). Fill the mixing glass with 1 handful of ice and stir continuously for 30 seconds.
2. Add ice to a lowball glass, and strain the drink into the glass (or you can use a cocktail glass without ice).
3. Use a knife to remove a 1″ wide strip of the orange peel. Squeeze the orange peel into the drink to release the oils. Gently run the peel around the edge of the glass, then place it in the glass and serve.

This is probably my favorite bourbon drink, other than neat of course.  As with any cocktail, the better the base spirit(s), the better the result.  I've tried this recipe with Highland, Islay and Speyside scotches.  I think my favorite so far has been the Speyside paired with Barrel Bourbon (batch 025).  Enjoy.   Don Lockwood
